Anybody got stuff depitcint the Central Americas/the Conquest of mexico?
I recall having a very cool set of paintings saved featuring the Aztecs and the conquistadors in a very high resolution but I lost them
Also, this is not it, but i'm also looking for a working version of the image at this link or who made it

This isn't high art, but I like it.
I see a shade being oppressed by his inner turmoil slouching forward under its weight.

Who is that guy?
>>1453690
Cardinal Richelieu I think
>>1453690
Armand Jean du Plessis de Richelieu, master politician and diplomat, BTFO'er of all enemies of France, architect of absolutism, who swore to "Make the king first in France, and France first in Europe", or something like that, can't remember the actual quote. Also the one who really started French colonialism in North America.

A modern take on Muzan-e, or "Bloody pictures", the origin of guro, which was pretty popular in the late 19th century. The most famous work of this genre is "Twenty-eight famous murders with verse".

The wikipedia article is pretty bare, but here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzan-e, als
>>1453763
Though modern artists tend to go a tiny bit further than the original.
>>1453783
Shit, don't pay attention the ", als", should've reread before posting.
But, yeah, there's some pretty fucked up shit. This one is about this, for example

That's beautiful, who is the artist?
From solid stone.
What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason,how infinite in faculties, in form and moving,how express and admirable in action, how like an angel in apprehension,

There's some retarded painting in the same vein (may even be the same artist) with all sorts of founding fathers looking hopefully on him, even the atheist himself, Thomas Paine.

Alright I'm done for now
The Rape of Prosperina, by Bernini
17th century marble (!!!) sculpture
Just look at the dents from the fingers, it is insane.
P.S. As if being a sculptor wasn't enough, Bernini was also an architect. You know, just for shits and giggles.
>>1454853
That building seems way to high, for anything built in Pre-Columbian America
>>1454948
yeah it's a bit exaggerated but they did have some tall temples and shit. plus i'm sure it looks and feels very high when you're actually standing there
>>1453665
You stop sticking to the rules
>>1454961
Fair enough, I understand it's done for effect. It just triggers my autism.
>>1454853

I prefer this version. Mostly because Montezuma (I'm assuming?) is more interesting as a main focal point

Although it is not nearly so technically sophisticated (verging instead on the naive), Edward Hicks' /The Peaceable Kingdom/ is nevertheless both compositionally similar in terms of fundamentals, and also evocative of animals in God's creation.
Hicks, an American quaker, did dozens of versions of this image.

This image (or one of its very similar variants) is the basis of H.R. Giger's conception for the "chestburster" in the original Alien film. Documentary footage exists of Giger himself discussing this, which makes the historical link straightforward.
Furthermore, the alien spaceship in that movie is based upon Bocklin's "Isle of the Dead". Bocklin, in turn, was a painter well known in the German-speaking world during the early 20th century, and beloved by Hitler. Plenty of art history relevant to a recent entertaining movie.
>>1453676
This composition is strikingly similar to the signature style of the abstract artist Clyfford Still. At first glance, I took it for a Still.
Still was one of the more "difficult" of the Abstract Expressionists. IIRC he left behind a bunch of paintings and instructions for his estate that they should either be shown in a museum built to such-and-such specs, or not shown at all. As it happens, they did eventually build a Still museum in Colorado.

IIRC this is franz hals?
>mfw I'm going to be crashing a Hellenistic Art class this term
Does this count?
It isn't a painting.
>>1458763
Pieter Claesz.
Hals was a Portraitist, mainly.
>>1458768
the painting is better though
>>1457967
Bierstadt did tons of slightly fanciful western landscapes. If you've ever been up in the high sierras of California you'll notice he captures the feel very well.

1. i have no idea how he achieved those radiant hues with oil paint
2. that looks nothing like new england, at all
>brown stone and clay
>small but jagged hills
>cliffs/bluffs at the edge of a pond
maaaaaybe like southern CT but i would say this is more something you might find around the mason-dixon line or even further south.
Maybe the best painting I've seen for real in a museum. This image doesn't do it justice, it's actually a shocking red.
